PRAYER LEAD
This role is to organize the Prayer Team in covering the staff, guests, the facilities and all of the weekend in prayer, and pray with guests and staff during the weekend. The City Prayer Leader is a "leader creating leaders" who encourages prayer tent volunteers to pray by listening to the hearts of guests while intently listening to and following the Holy Spirit during all prayer sessions. Essential to this role is encouraging prayer tent volunteers to follow our JH Prayer guidelines as a means of loving and honoring the diversity and varying spiritual experiences of our guests. The most important thing you can do to prepare is to make daily personal time with the Lord a priority. Pray also for your role specifically – that the Lord will provide you with everything that you need including wisdom, discernment, and protection. As you serve this weekend, please take time to listen and receive the blessings God has in store for you! One of the most common testimonies we receive is from volunteers who say that they get as much or more from serving, as they did from their life changing experience as a guest.
